Maria Vasilyevna Kljonowa
Marija Wassiljewna Kljonowa ( Russian Мария Васильевна Клёнова , English transcription Maria Klenova ; * 1898 in Irkutsk , † 1976 ) was a Russian marine geologist and one of the founders of Soviet oceanography .
Life
Kljonowa was from 1924 at the All-Union Institute for Fisheries and Oceanography. At that time she explored the Barents Sea from the research vessel Perseus and the arctic waters (expeditions to Spitzbergen , Franz-Josef-Land , Novaja Zemlya ) with a complete geological mapping of the seabed in the Barents Sea (1933). In 1929 she became the first woman to lead an oceanographic expedition in the Soviet Union. In 1937 she completed her habilitation in geology ( Russian doctorate ). She also explored and mapped the seabed, for example in the White Sea and Caspian Sea . During the Second World War she was in the Hydro-Meteorological Service of the Armed Forces of the USSR (creation of sea maps for the Northern Sea and Black Sea, lectures, for example, to submarine captains) and from 1944 at the State Oceanographic Institute and from 1954 at the Shirschow Institute for Oceanography (SIO) of the Soviet Academy of Sciences in Moscow. She extended her investigations to the Atlantic (on the research ship Lomonossow) and the Antarctic . The Caspian Sea was also a focus (among other things as preparation for the first Soviet offshore oil rig). She also taught at Lomonosov University as a professor.
In 1956 she was in the Antarctic for the first time with a Soviet research ship and later carried out research from Soviet icebreakers (Ob, Lena) and, for example, on a drift station, the Soviet station in Queen Marie Land and the Australian research station on Macquarie Island . At that time she was one of the first scientists to do research on land in the Antarctic. It contributed significantly to the Soviet Antarctic Atlas.
She wrote (as early as the 1930s) a textbook on marine geology published in 1948 and defended marine geology as an independent science in the Soviet Union.
A summit in Antarctica, a crater on Venus and a deep sea valley are named after her.
For her work in World War II, she received the Order of the Red Labor Banner in 1943 . In 1965 she received the Gubkin Prize with two others for her work in the Caspian Sea. In 1951 she received the Order of Lenin , in 1975 she received the Badge of Honor of the Soviet Union and in 1969 she became an Honored Scientist of the Russian Soviet Federal Socialist Republic . Klenova Peak has been named after her since 2014 , a mountain in Ellsworthland in Antarctica.
